I have a 4x8 CNC with and am trying to surface the spoil board. I have everything else figured out, but this huge lead-in will not allow me run the program because it exceed the travel limits of the machine. I tried turning the lead-in off and all that did was remove the little vertical ramp, it didn't make the board come down at the material edge. I can manually jog the machine past the edge of the board, so it is physically capable of doing it, but the program wants to start about 1.5" beyond the board. How do it change it so that it plunges into the material. I know that isn't ideal, but I am only taking .005" off of MDF, so it should be fine.

I will suggest you switch to 2D Adaptive Clearing to not only plunge cut to begin but to keep the tool completely within the bounds of the spoil plate. Please check behind me on my settings. Model is attached.
Edit: I missed your depth of cut, different model is attached.
